"He only had two punches that made contact... Then why am I s-so damaged?!" |
Soaring Dragon Strike (龍翔拳 Ryūshōken, lit. "Dragon Soaring Fist") is a rush attack used by Gohan in his Super Saiyan 2 form.
Overview
As he shouts "Hi-ya!", Gohan attacks with a sharp hook punch to the opponent's gut. Then, he follows up with a swift uppercut to the opponent's chin, knocking them away and inflicting a high amount of damage.
Usage
Gohan uses this attack during the battle against Cell in the Cell Games. Seeing as he can not defeat Super Saiyan 2 Gohan, Perfect Cell unleashes his full power in hopes of gaining a bigger advantage against the young Saiyan, although Gohan is unimpressed with his power up. However, when he punches Gohan hard in the face, Gohan is barely fazed. Just before Perfect Cell could land another blow, Gohan counterattacks with the Soaring Dragon Strike, severely injuring Perfect Cell, much to the shock of the other Z Fighters.
Gohan later uses the attack against a Frieza Soldier in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ while using Rapid Movement to attack multiple Soldiers.
Variations
- King Hydra - An alternate version used by both Super Saiyan Adult Gohan & Potential Unleashed Adult Gohan as his special attack in Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butōden. Gohan delivers a standard uppercut to the opponent then unleashes a flurry of punches and kicks before finishing it off with a Soaring Dragon Strike uppercut.
- Ultimate Soaring Dragon Strike - The most powerful version of the attack, used by GT Gohan Super Saiyan 4 in Dragon Ball Heroes.
Video Game Appearances

Soaring Dragon Strike was named in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, where it appears as one of Teen Gohan's attacks in his Super Saiyan 2 form. Gohan can also use it as an adult in all of his forms in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit, Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World, and Dragon Ball Heroes. In these games, the Soaring Dragon Strike is three blows to the stomach followed by a powerful uppercut sending the opponent in the air.
A majority of the above games give it special effects akin to his father's Dragon Fist attack, in that an energy dragon accompanies Gohan's uppercut.
The technique is called Jetting Uppercut in Dragon Ball Z: Super Butōden 3, and Super-Jet Uppercut in Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22. Teen Gohan also uses the Soaring Dragon Strike in Super Dragon Ball Z.
In the Budokai Tenkaichi series, this attack is Super Saiyan 2 Teen Gohan's grapple throw.
